...Looks like there's a fire alarm in the Sky News Centre. Just now there was a sound in the background which I assumed was coming from the location of the person being interviewed in Gaza, but then Lorna cut him off to go into an ad break at the unusual time of 11:05, and have come back with an unscheduled recorded programme which is presumably coming from the main Sky playout area (no DOG or ticker or anything).

Back now, Lorna confirming it was a fire alarm.


I did tune in at about 11:07 at the end of an ad break and it went into a programme called Breaking The Ice with Ian Woods and all the graphics where the old box style and I was wondering why they had dropped their Gaza coverage - now I know!

Did you capture any of this?

Footage of the last time it went off is on Youtube here.

Meanwhile on the channel they seem to be running a Sky News Today style format with news summaries every half hour.

I've noticed they've now started to run promos for the return of Jeff Randall Live, 7:30 Monday-Thursday.


Interestingly it said it starts on January 12th,could they be back in News Centre by then?(the desk area at least).

EDIT: Beat me to it!

Does Studio B have a separate gallery?

How did they do Sunrise this morning, was it from the desk in CSO again? The Live Desk was with Colin standing up with the usual Newsroom/Gallery backdrop, but I'm sure it was in CSO again, although it was hard to tell. Afternoon Live is from the desk with Lorna.

Sunrise was at the main desk with Eamonn in the CSO studio.

Yeah - it was most definitely from the CSO again as I could see that Colin was sitting on a chair - but we just couldn't see the desk in front of him. Also on the image behind him there were still desks and computers in the area that was removed a few weeks back.

Rob Curling was with BBC London for many years...

So are there any colour or cosmetic changes taking place at Sky Centre, or is it just refurbishing and rearranging?

It would be good to get rid of the blue and red, and maybe bring in some subtle orange, green and purple, along with some chrome.

Sky Today Headlines done by Sarah Jane Mee today... might there be 'some' truth in that schedule that was posted?
